The Move and The February Groove

We are ramping up on the moving prep... on Saturday we rented a truck, moved all of my parents stuff out of storage unit, and we picked up our new Dining Room Table, Rug and Sydney's new Bunk Bed from Wolf's Furniture and moved that INTO the storage unit... ugh, Saturday was fun... lol, actually it wasn't as bad as it could have been, we got everything moved around fairly quickly. I am still dreading the actual big move, where everything has to come out of the storage unit as well as everything we'll have to get out of my parent's house.

The next steps are to start packing... we are just at 22 days left, so if we can get everything packed up and ready to just pick up and take to the new house, it'll be huge!

I am proposing now, to myself and to the nobody that reads this, that the next three weekends (and any other time we can squeeze in) we need to organize and pack everything in the storage unit (as well as put some stuff away that we can get rid of... I know there's definitely some stuff I'd love to get rid of!) and also do the same for my parent's house... although it's not like we're getting evicted from there, so even if that's a slower roll-out, we have time and it's literally so close that moving stuff from there to our new house will be painless... plus they have the trailer for any over-sized items that will be leftover to move.

Gotta say, I am getting very excited! Saturday evening we asked our realtor if we could get into the new house to get a couple of measurements and luckily they agreed, so we got in and took down some crucial measurements, and just getting back in there got us more hype than ever to finally get this move over and done with.

Speaking of, I finally got the measurements for my "Daddy's Den" and am starting to plan that out... really would love a corner/L shaped desk to put in there, but honestly, that can wait. Luckily it affords me pretty close to the same area of space that I have now in my parent's basement for all my stuff (which I plan on reducing as well, so should all fit even easier.)

22 days, 22 days... Oh... speaking of February (sort of) I know that there is TONS to do this month and it's quite possibly the worse time to even consider it with all that's going on, but I think I want to enter the RPM challenge again... For those unawares, the RPM challenge is a musical venture wherein you are tasked with creating a full album strictly in February. I joined it and had a blast doing it probably 5 years ago or so, and ever since have just been busy, or haven't been in music moods at the time, or a whole litney of other excuses, but this year I kind of wanted to do it, accept the challenge (which is extra challenging with the move coming,) and seeing what I can do. I am already 3 days behind, but in a weird artistic way, I kind of like the pressures of doing it knowing I have so much other stuff happening. I'll see what tonight brings, if I only get motivated enough to put on Youtube videos and play Minecraft (which was most of my weekend, despite wanting to do VR,) then so be it, but maybe I'll push myself... maybe.
